Could this be Marvel's plot for "Thor 3: Ragnarok?"

New reports suggest a very interesting back story to the Ragnarok involving a power hungry Thor. As Slash Film noted, "The backstory features Thor inheriting the Odinpower after Odin basically dies during a battle with the fire demon Surtur. Puffed up with this power, Thor goes a little bit crazy, extending the rule of Asgard to rule of Earth, and spends a couple hundred years as an all-powerful and not-at-all cool deity. Eventually he basically said 'oops!' and traveled back in time to wipe out that whole storyline."

"So, as Thor gets back to Asgard, a variation on the quest from Lord of the Rings is playing out. The mold that created Mjolnir still exists, and could potentially be used to make other serious weapons...Loki intercepts the mold. Loki has new weapons made, and with a force of powerful allies he attacks Thor and friends. In the first attack Mjolnir is broken, and the subsequent war basically destroys Asgard," the article continued.

Previous rumors have already speculated the death of Thor because of the Ragnarok. With his mighty hammer Mjolnir destroyed, it could surely end that way.

And while fans are very much anxious to know about the God of Thunder's fate, Marvel will reportedly indulge them with a sneak peek at the end of the "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron." The clip will show Loki sparking a war between Midgard and Asgard, prompting the start of the Ragnarok.

As HNGN reported, "The titular character, played by Chris Hemsworth, may not even be spared depending on how closely Yost chooses to adapt his screenplay from the "Ragnarok" comic book in which Thor dies. His death comes among others during a massive battle between the Nine Realms that Loki, who currently sits on the Asgard throne, may have a hand in starting."

Apart from the Ragnarok plot, Marvel President Kevin Feige shared that Thor's character will be pushed to greater heights in the next movie.

"We plan on taking Thor to another level. It picks up where we leave Thor in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and impacts everything that comes after."

"Thor 3: Ragnarok" is slated for a July 28, 2017 release.
